Effects of family remittances on the demographic growth of El Salvador

Abstract

This research is aimed to show the statistical data on the effects that family remittances have in the demographic growth of El Salvador. It has been limited to taking into account the data from the 2010-2015 period. This phenomenon is rooted in variety of causes; said causes are of great interest and therefore should be analyzed in depth for a better and clearer understanding of their nature. Based on this, the data has been compared in order to determine whether the demographic growth allows for the family remittances to grow as well. The concept of family remittance is understood as the financial outcome of those who satisfactorily immigrated and who are able to economically support their families in their country of origin, by sending them remittances.
